Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Singer Richie Spice was one of the most exciting talents to emerge from Jamaica in 2004 with the international hits 'Earth A Run Red' and 'Marijuana'. The album Spice In Your Life was an underground smash. Establishing Richie as a musical force to be reckoned with and helping to further the roots rebirth movement in reggae. Now, VP Records has remastered and recompiled the original album adding two additional hit tracks from 2005. "Spinning Around' and 'Ghetto Girl' on the Hard Times riddim freshen the sequence and document the progression of the artist to the present time. 2006.
Customer Reviews
Spice In Your Life
This is my first time buying this artist's work. After listening to some of his tracks on line, I was drawn to his style, made me think of Sizzla. Very fresh, a modern take on reggae yet still displays some of the traditional beats, good conscious lyrics, strong rasta man vibes. I will definitely buy his work again.
Goombay and Spice
After spending the last month in the Florida Keys, I have to say that this CD is incredible. Listening to Richie and drinking Goombay go hand and hand. Go ahead... spice up your life.
Peace
Strictly for Promotional Purposes. . .
Reggae giant VPRecords made a rather large statement earlier this year in signing up Richie Spice. Over the last 3-4 years Spice has proven himself one of the bigger hitmakers in all of reggae music and has definitely carved out a rather large fanbase for himself. In doing so, instead of, as traditionally, allowing him to go and make his album, they have chosen to release his sophomore album, released originally in 2004 for 5th Element Records.
This is an odd release for VP. They have done this in the past for records such as Sizzla's Good Ways and Black Woman & Child and more recently a few of their own albums (such as the Lalabella riddim album) but this one seems to be for new reason than to promote the forthcoming Spice release for VP. Yes, the original was not on wide release (why Jetstar or SOMEONE never picked up the distribution for both it and Chuck Fender's album Better Days is a mystery to me), and I know people who could not find it for awhile. But it's place was a rather comfortable one, it still had a fine run and to be re-released after just TWO years seems at least somewhat unusual.
Musically, you can't question the intentions. Spice in Your Life is a fine fine album, but as I said, the album is just 2 years old, so the big tunes here are still rather fresh on the tip of your tongue.
Best tune here is without a doubt Earth a Run Red, the tune which has run Spice's career red to date. Excellent big big tune. Also check Black a Tar, 911, Folly Living, the massive Marijuana from the 5th Element riddim and the combination with Chuck Fenda, Fake Smile. 2 songs are added here which were not on the 5E release, the unremarkable accoustic Spinning Around and Ghetto Girl which just happens to be on the Hardtimes riddim, one of the biggest from '04, so chances are good you probably know that one as well. (definitely looking forward to Just the Other Day to be included on the new album)
Overall, get this one, ONLY if you missed out on the first round of releases. (And if you are a reggae fan then shame on you for missing it). The songs here will sound a little played, their older, but not old enough to where you'll just revel in hearing them again, most of these songs will still make the cut on a Spice stage show. This probably would have been better released as a double with the new release, however, no fault to the artist, big big songs here, wonderful message and just all around good music. Looking forward to this fall for the new album.
